Maybe it was a slip of the tongue. Maybe Texans defensive coordinator Wade Phillips defines the term "passer" a little differently than most. Or maybe Phillips is just jealous of what Saints fans have down in New Orleans.

Whatever the case may be, Phillips' confidence in Drew Brees goes beyond that of probably even the most loyal fan.

"You're going against the all-time best passer in the history of football," Phillips said of Brees, regarding the Texans' upcoming preseason game against the Saints. "That's going to be a big challenge, plus they've got a great offense. They were at the top of the league offensively, obviously. We expect a tough task, but we'll see how ready we are."

Wade knows whats up....he had to sit and watch Brees carve up his defenses (which are always good btw) several times. LOL.

But seriously tho...I respect the heck out of Wade Phillips. Got ran out of Dallas but the other guy isn't fairing much better. He could have been a great coach if Jerruh wasn't such a egotistical control freak and let him run him run the team.

Translation of his remark: "We locker room material about #9 everywhere, and he's the focus of our gameplan. We're gonna get after him early and often, force him to get happy feet and throw picks, and leave the dome with a decisive victory."
